Clean...for now!

It has taken me weeks, on and off.  I would start cleaning and organizing one corner of my studio, only to be distracted by a card or a project.  Then the piles started collecting...and I got overwhelmed.

But now it's purged and shiny and I love it.  I'm almost afraid to go and mess it up.

Thought I'd share the pictures now, because I know that it will not last!  





All cabinets and countertops are from California Closets.  The Expedit cube in the last picture is from Ikea.

So, in my nice clean room, I finally got a couple of challenges done.  The first card is for The Play Date Cafe color splash challenge to use black and white with a splash of orange.


I used Elegant Lines embossing folder from Stamin' UP, old 7 gypsies gaffer tape, SRM sticker, Fiskars Threading Water Punch and felt flowers.

With the leftovers from the card, I made this tag for the CAS-ual Friday blog's  'Tag you're it' challenge.


Thanks so much for dropping by.  Off I go to admire the clean studio while it lasts....
